Beginner friendly: Moderate

I’d rate it a 2 because audiobook production requires specific skills such as voice acting, audio editing, and familiarity with recording equipment. While there are resources available online to learn these skills, it can be challenging for a beginner to produce a high-quality audiobook without prior experience. Additionally, competition is high, and building a reputation or client base takes time. Most beginners will need significant practice and possibly professional training to start earning a profit.
